Born under a lucky star, i.e. my prizes

HELLO! As usual, long time no see. I gave my best but life unexpectedly appeared and once again put a spoke in my wheel. Still, as promised today's post is finally about the prizes and awards I won in the end of last year but in the first place I definitely want to thank you, my responsive readers who kindly shared their exciting and witty stories about peeping between security gates. I was truly surprised by the amount of those "lucky" ladies who felt my so-called pain.

However, my awards! I'm starting with my fangirlish set of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 bracelets and earrings I won once in November 2012 through a Facebook competition. The 3 pack of earrings is called "Edward" and those bracelets are Cullen Crest jelly bangles. I'm pleased with the quality and even my mom loved the earrings (those pretty blue hearts in particular).

Moving on, Liis (her blog Beauty from Liz) held Small & Sweet giveaway in her blog and on the 10th of December 2012 I won The Body Shop Limited Edition Vanilla Bliss lip balm.+ It's just enough shimmering, its rich vanilla scent is heavenly and the limited-edition dome is very comfortable to use.- It's not moisturizing enough for my lips (at least during cold and decently drying winter time) and its flavour is slightly too artificial.All in all an average product: I quite like it because of the smell but the taste is aggravating and I can't help it.

Anyway, Liis hosted another giveaway that was called Warm & Soft giveaway. Believe it or not but on the 20th of December 2012 I found out I had won again! A pair of bright pink mittens from fresh Estonian knitwear brand Mithio. I wore those cuties for the first time last Saturday and of course I have photos waiting to be posted since it was an exceptionally sunny day in our capital Tallinn. By the way, my new mittens were warm enough in Tallinn but my hometown Jõgeva (also the capital of cold) was a tough nut to crack. After all Jõgeva is known as the coldest place in Estonia with the lowest temperature of -43,5°C (-46°F). It's quite crazy, isn't it?

But now about two international giveaways that produced me entirely FIVE special bracelets. For a start on the 16th of December 2012 I won a giveaway held by dear Kayleigh Jean (her blog Kayleigh Jean) who is one very talented fashion designer and jewellery maker. Check out her asos marketplace!My prize - a set of 4 precious stone charm bracelets made of amethyst, howlite, quartz and sodalite natural stones and refined with Eiffel Tower, leaf and owl charms. All four look flawless together and I already can't wait for spring to come to show them off properly!

Secondly and last but certainly not least I won a delightful Digidi bracelet through Elisabeth's (her blog Dragonfly) bracelet competition (in conjunction with Finnish web shop Shopista) again on the 20th of December 2012. I didn't own too many bracelets before all those splendid winnings but now I sense an ideal arm party because the vastly blue Digidi bracelet clubs perfectly together with the foursome created by Kayleigh Jean.

It sure was an odd and unexpected (I had practically never won any giveaways before) burst of luck in the end of 2012. What about your luck when it comes to blog giveaways, lotto, anything like that?Additionally I hope you enjoyed the photos and certainly let me know what you think because I love hearing from you :)

Wow, you had some amazing luck! The pair of raw gemstone bracelets are so pretty, unpolished and uncut gemstones are so fun and pretty! (And the little charms are so sweet, the owl one is adorable! I can't wait to see how you style those!)The Twilight earrings are really fun as well, I did realize that they had merchandise like that, the little button ones are really cute!

Oh my goodness, you really did have a very lucky end of the year! It looks like you won a lot of beautiful prizes that we might just get to see in your upcoming outfits :) I have to admit, I just love the bright pink mitts... it snowed here in Paris finally and all I have on my mind right now is staying warm!xox,Cee

I've had my share of luck in giveaways - enough that I'll usually enter when I see a blogger holding a giveaway for something I like. But wow, this was certainly a burst of luck! What an amazing way to ring in the new year ;)

I was waiting to see those twilight goodies,as you mentioned them a little while ago,I love the little charms on the braclets,and I agree with your mum those blue hearts certainly are beautiful.I do have some luck sometimes,one of the luckiest things that happend,was a couple years ago,mine and my boyfriends lotto numbers came up and we won £500! which entirely paid for our holiday to Tenerife!

Oooo I love that crystal sham balla bracelet. You won some great items and I really love those gloves, they look super warm just perfect on a day like today. We are expecting a ign of mid 20f.....eeek.

You are one lucky girl!:) I never win anything:) But I'm truly happy for you that you could score such nice presents. I will be hosting a give-away on my blog in a coming couple of weeks. So stay turned. I absolutely love all the pieces you won but especially the last 4 bracelets with the beautiful charms! they are so sweet and stylish!

Thanks so much Maiken,I'd love to share this,Im still smiling :) I wish my nails would last that long,look forward to seeing your nails,when you get them done?Hope you have a lovely week a head of you x

The colour of the Digidi bracelet is beautiful and the 'Eward' jewelery are fun too! As I recently informed you about my url problem here is another update. I'm back to my old url: me-travelleroftheworld.blogspot.com You subscribed to my new url right? Would like to desubscribe that and, perhaps, subscribe again to my old url? I am really sorry that I put you through all this trouble!

love the bracelet but what I love the most are the twilight earrings gosh I'm a twilight freak and lover I have won so bracelet and necklaces as well the last year so happy for you that you have won so muchwww.preppyfashionist.com

The charm bracelets are absolutely lovely :). I'm sorry that you didn't get on well with the lip balm though. I once won an asos competition and then the next day won some gift vouchers from Boots, I think that was my luckiest week haha :) xx

Ooo you won so many cool things! I especially like the Twilight earrings, i'm a big fan too :) And wow so many pretty bracelets! I haven't won anything recently but during the summer time, I won a few giveaways in the span of like two weeks so that was pretty cool.

Your so lucky!!!! I dont think I've ever won a thing in my life!!!!!!! I love the stone bracelets, they are so cute! especially the charms!!!! Have a wonderful week!Much LoveChari T (deep fried stilettos)xoxo

Wow you got some pretty amazing stuff! I've never been that lucky, I won only 3 giveaways in my life and unlucky me the first time I did not receive my prize, the second time the item was too small (it was a bra) but the third time I got the shirt. I must have a bad luck when it comes to that :/

How lovely that you won all these gorgeous prizes! Aren't you a lucky girl? Last year was my lucky year too in some ways because I acquired quite a few prizes from various competitions. Isn't it such a good feeling? My favourite of yours is the hot pink knit - they would brighten up any dreary winter outfit!
